UPDATE: I tried this palette again with a set base. I had the same problems. I used fix plus on one eye and my finger on the other with the sequin formula on the lid. On the side with the finger, the glitter was gone within 5 min. The side with the fix plus did apply a lot nicer, however....after that dried down, it only lasted on the lid a little over an hour. I still like the metallics and the glitters but I am giving this palette to a subscriber who missed out on it and really wants it. I want to mention again that this was a review about a palette, not a person.
Mel Thompson If the palette doesn’t work for you then I would get rid of it, too. You love the ND Lila palette and I hate that darn thing. It cost me over $100. Everybody has different eyelids and faces. One palette may work on one person and not the other. Thanks for giving it the old college try. I’m still trying to get my Lila palette to work, ugh. 😐
Thank you so much for the update! Love how you’re so dedicated to this and how good you are to your fans. And you’re so sweet for gifting it to a subscriber. ❤️❤️❤️
Jale Beecham absolutely, Mel is the best, super talented, super beautiful and 100% honest. One of the very few I trust and make purchases pending her reviews. 💖💖😊
So DISAPPOINTED to see that Mel got so many dislikes on this video (more than usual average) probably from the Tati supporters who want to see nothing but PERFECT comments on this palette, come on!! If she wanted to say this was 100% perfect then she would be an AD like most people on here, Mel is actually someone I trust!!
Ironically Tati doesn't want to review you tubers make up any more after she reviewed Emily Noel and her fans came for her. Keep being you. It's a palette not a person xxx
@Jacy Miller I could not agree more! Tati could have gone about it in a totally different way and still been respectful about it. She was over dramatic and her techniques when she applied it all was a joke. She acted like someone who had never applied makeup before and the colors she chose (out of all the ones to chose from) were a poor choice imo. She acted like a total bratty victim when called out on how she acted and reviewed that palette. Then she got nasty towards Kiki and Emily herself.. I lost every bit of respect for Tati after that. Now I see her and just gag over how self absorbed and overly dramatic she is. That girl has no clue about the real world. Sorry for the rant. But I've remained pissed about all of that ever since it happened.
Tati handled that whole situation like a petulant child. Emily Noel and Kiki Chanel got caught in the crossfires because Tati didn't like that people thought her review was total BS. She should keep away from reviewing other youtuber's products. She loved James Charles palette and look how that all turned out.
@@Elaine_S self absorbed is the perfect way to explain Tati. I used to be a fan but lost my taste for her over time, as she got bigger and bigger. Watched her be a cool, fun person to a stuck up drama queen. I haven't watched her in a long time.
@spooky katt totally agree! I see those palettes in every TJ Maxx/Marshalls now! Why? Because word of mouth gets around that they are just meh colors and so so quality. They did not sell and/or they were the palettes that had formula issues and had to be pulled which Tati mentioned in her follow up video saying perhaps she got one if the defective palettes.
@@Elaine_S I have to disagree that Tati purposely used bad techniques to apply the eyeshadow. She used the exact same techniques as for her other videos, that’s pretty obvious. I didn’t hear any ‘jokes’ either. The palette was terrible, that’s not Emily’s fault it’s Makeup Revolution’s formulas that are very much hit and miss. However, Kiki Chanel’s video about Tati was horrendous and make Kiki look idiotic for fabricating drama. I’m suspecting that you heard about Tati’s video from someone and didn’t watch the video yourself. But then again you’ll probably double down on having ‘watched’ it just because I called you out on it. Have a nice day.
No one could ever make me believe Mel is disingenuous or a liar. Why can’t people understand that this was her experience with the palette and makeup is personal. All of this bickering back and forth and calling people liars is absurd and absolute nonsense.
Just because Mel didn't like it doesn't mean she is lying, just like the people who loved it aren't lying. Everyone is different and has different techniques and preferences.
*"Its not a review of Tati, it's a review of the palette!"* ... This REALLY sums up so much of the bias and bs we have to sift through to find a clean, concise, informative, detailed review like yours!! Thanks Mel for alway keeping it flawlessly real and looking gorgeous while you do it😘
Megan Sarah Idk. I’ve seen a lot of influencer reviews from people who didn’t receive the palette in PR and didn’t have the same issues with blending and such. It might be that Mel used a base that was far too emollient for these shadows. People describe most of the shadows as “creamy” and the glitters as a tad dry. Check out Taylor Wynn’s review and What Would Lizzy Do. They bought the palette. 🤷🏽♀️
Annie Camacho even if they bought it , they still could be biased because they want to stay on her goud side ,cmon ,,, I’ve seen others that where brave enough to say their where flaws ,, Tati is not a chemist she picks the colors
Sure but when you see the reviews of customers that have been playing around with the palette for a while, the majority say it's great quality and very beginner friendly.
I ordered this palette as well... I was hoping that third row was not matte with glitter... that formula just makes no sense to me... it would of been nice to be shimmers instead... dang... I'm nervous about those mattes now lol... the glitters look nice :D great vid Mel! xx
I'm amazed at the comments telling Mel how to do her eyeshadows wow!!! She's an expert and her skills are one of the best I've seen. I expect to have to work extra on a palette that is $5 to $20 but not on one that is $50. I expect it to look awesome, period. Just my opinion.
I can already see everyone is so afraid to say anything negative about this palette. You were at least honest. Not a fan of Tati so this is definitely not on my wish list.
Katie Speirs respectfully disagree. Tati liked and retweeted Manny MUA’s review, which was not 100% positive (he had issues with one of the textures gathering). I think folks are being kind, yes, but overall honest of what they think.
@@Randilynn66 Those are some empty assumptions you're making. Tati Beauty is a 2 month old brand with only 1 product. It's not like this is an established brand that people absolutely do not want to miss out on. And if you read customer's reviews, they're absolutely glowing. But God forbid someone comes out with a genuinely great palette that works wonders for beginners, right?
You are SO wonderful. I knew the sequins wouldn’t work. We’ve seen a ton of mattes with glitter particles and they NEVER adhere. I’m also not into glitter. This was an easy pass for me. I do love Tati though. But it’s so refreshing to see someone stay so honest considering who she is. Big love Mel. This will earn you more trust from many people. There may be some hate but that usually comes from people who are just blind to any opinion that differs from theirs. Don’t give it any weight. You are a true gem!!!!!
Christine Shadya These sequin shades are way better than others. But to make the sparkle pop, you have to wet a flat brush with fix plus or any other spray. Then they’re gorgeous. I couldn’t make other matte sparkle shades in other palettes work.
B.b. Gun thing is some of us Hate Loath Glitter... and to have 2 rows of the same color. Then the shimmers.. then glitter... nah... big pass for me too. I adore Tati. Was elated to have her release a palette. Alas it’s like handing me whisky when I’m dying of thirst. And don’t drink. Hehe. Just not for me at all. Still adore Tati though!
Agreed! I’d cry if Mel ever sold out to us and quit being honest. She’s the BEST! Her and Stephanie Nicole are my favorite because they’re both so honest. Stephanie is incredibly knowledgeable and knows her shit and Mel is incredibly talented and makes the most beautiful looks.
Ashley M exactly why I’m not buying it I’m going to buy the Natasha Danona BiBa palette... I’m on the hunt for a new neutral palette... and I’m not a glitter gal... sequence sparkle gal at all... I’ve been waiting for Tati to release makeup... and this to me... is not my cup of tea. Sad too! I adore Tati. But ill waist 2/3 of the palette... and if the mattes don’t blend well... eh. No ... I’ll pass... I wish she did a talc free shadow. But I’m sure many others will love this.
Finally an unbiased review. If any other brand would have release this palette, most reviewers would say “it’s another boring neutral palette” thank you for your honesty❤️
I like this palette better than all my Jeffree Star ones. More than all my palettes really. I just don't see why grown adults speak like this. Maybe the world would be a bit kinder if we respect other people. Maybe follow the Golden rule. I am a JS lover and I wanted to try this palette without really knowing who Tati was... and I'm glad I did. But good lord... Grow up. You are adults. The way you act, I'm embarrassed for you. I hope your kids aren't witnessing your behavior! Set a good example.
@@whiskeyrivers, who's not acting like an adult? Us, freely expressing our opinion, or you, with your name calling? And I really hope my kids will be calling bulls** when they see it. Actually, I'm pretty sure my son will say: Bulls** is for the birds, hahaha.
This is honestly, one of the best, more complete reviews I’ve seen of this palette. I appreciate the sincerity. Nothing against Tati, I used to watch her, not as much now because tastes change but I felt from the beginning, her popularity will colour most reviews. If Too Faced released this, it would have been dragged as boring, repetitive and unnecessary. It’s incredibly unlikely for people’s affection for her and to be honest, fear of backlash not to bias the situation somewhat. She’s a smart business woman and her idea of having pre orders (before any truly legitimate reviews from people who weren’t sent the palette come out) is brilliant. As far as I know, she doesn’t accept returns. And having seen a million “I’m so broke but I have buy this to support Tati” or “I have these colours but I love her sooo much I have to buy this” comments, I will say this: You can support your favourites by watching their videos. Your money and financial health are more important than spending what you don’t have on something you don’t want or need. Tati isn’t supporting you by paying your credit card bills. She’ll be juuuuuust fine.
I 2000 I agree, I’m mostly a neutrals girl with an occasional pop of colour type makeup junkie (though for me personally, this leans too orange which doesn’t look good on me). I’m not actually dragging the palette, I’m just saying in the YT landscape when critiques come in, it usually seems all neutral palettes get dragged as boring but Tati’s didn’t. Outside of YT, they’re certainly the ones that sell. I find the two different worlds fascinating actually. Rainbow palettes have been a huge trend all year and yet I’ve never seen one person (friend, family, teenager, stranger on the street) in real life wearing anything close to bright primary colours on their eyes.
@@lindsayhoffman2688 You're absolutely right. The majority of people have no clue who Tati or other beauty UA-camrs are and don't follow the industry trends. Almost all of my friends and family that wear makeup wear neutrals, and I don't mean the orange and reds that many brands call neutral, have a small collection and rarely, if ever, step foot in Sephora. A few friends have some higher end products that include the Naked 1 or 2 palette, BareMinerals, Lancome or Estee Lauder.
Thank you for your review - this is literally the first honest review I’ve seen! I watched other reviews where you could see some of the same issues you spoke about occurring, and the reviewer didn’t say anything and said everything worked perfectly. I know it’s tricky when your reviewing another (huge) UA-camr’s product but I think it’s still so important to give an honest review - consumers are spending their hard earned money. So again thank you!! It’s truly appreciated!!
Best review of this pallet and most honest...I love how you approached the review showing how long it took to blend your flawless look...I would never spend 16 minutes blending two colors together..so it’s not for me...I think your statement was great: if you love and want to support Tati do it! Waiting for volume 2 bc of this review! Thank you! 🙏
I absolutely adore. Always being honest. Most people are too afraid to give Tati a bad review, even if they dont like the product. We need more influencers like you.
Thank you for your honesty, Mel. No explanation necessary. You have always been honest no matter whose product it is. Tati is just another person releasing a palette. She isn't a god. Just like anything else, it can work for some and not others. I thought you were very gracious in your criticism. Thank you for being critical of products. I appreciate that so much.
Brilliant in-depth review Mel! You are an aficionado on eyeshadow and your views are to be relied upon. You are kind and considerate with your comments which is nice to see. Very helpful advice for someone thinking about purchasing. Thank you X
Omg these looks are sooooooo pretty!!! But you are so right about the formulas and I love that you mentioned these things because it’s not cheap and it really helps those of us who were trying to decide if we want to spend our money on this palette 💖🙏 thank you so much!
Yay! I'm so glad that Mel has the integrity to give an honest review for this palette! All the other reviews I've seen for this palette were the typical, "OMG! Tati's palette is amazing! It's the best thing I've put on my eyes this entire year! I just love supporting fellow UA-camrs!" *insert eye roll* I've even unsubbed from a few because it seems they are more worried about supporting their fellow UA-camr than supporting their viewers by giving an honest review. Mel, you are then one that's amazing and girl...you still pulled off 2 fierce looks with this palette even though you had issues with it. You are Queen!
I’ve watched like 20 reviews and they were “meh” compared to yours! You make them look so beautiful! Why didn’t you get this in PR. Does Tati not know you or something? Your amazing!
They're on the same level skill wise, Mel just has a real life to contend with her career, where as tati has made her career her life. I trust them both to inform and suggest. I think if Mel reached out and/or traveled to collab with other creators it would grow her viewership, but she's grown so far basically by word of mouth.
I wasn’t planning on buying this palette for a number of reasons initially. Your review confirmed it for me. I probably would have been swayed to get it if you loved it because you are my go to on all things makeup and I trust you implicitly. Thank you for being honest and true to who you are always. That and your incredible warmth and talent are why I am here everyday. I always know that you don’t get swept away in the social media mayhem and stay true to who you are and I adore and respect you for this.
Just like Tati didn't deserve the nasty responses she received when she didn't like EmilyNoel's Makeup Revolution collab, you certainly didn't deserve it for this review. Makeup is so subjective and used to be about expressing individuality but now, abuse is heaped upon anyone with a differing opinion. I'll just never understand why people get so angry at strangers on the internet that don't like something they do!
Exactly. That Kiki Chanel video was beyond idiotic. She was just trying to increase her viewership by inserting herself and fabricating ‘drama’ just because Tati didn’t like another UA-camr’s palette. People are allowed to have an opinion without others piling on them.
First true critique of this palette thus far! Everyone has just been doting over this palette with only the highest praises. Thank You, for keeping it 💯 I don’t think that people are lying about their experience with this palette, but more so they are finding it too hard to separate their love for Tati to find any fault in the palette whatsoever.
Me neither I been using it everyday since I got it and the sequins are actually my favorite formula in the palette besides the glitters. The metallics didn’t do anything for me tho
I’ve been using it everyday and it’s been amazing. Mattes are easy to blend with great pigment. I’ve been using the sequin formula with the iconic London shimmer spray that came in last months boxycharm. I’ve done all over the lid, but my fave way to use them is as liner. Poet sequin liner is gorgeous. That spray is like magic for this formula. Try it out if you get Boxycharm.
Mel Thompson But it’s a little bit selfish too, I want you to get as much PR as possible so you can make videos and early reviews 😊. I’m addicted to your channel 😬💗
You are the Queen. Thank you so much for your unbiased and informative review. I'll probably get the palette but I am SO happy to have a really honest review of ALL of the formulas so I won't have any surprises when I receive it. And, those two looks you created are so stunning. Love ya' girl! And, your puppy in the mirror is soooo cute.
Haha but like she said it took her like 15 minutes to blend....ain’t nobody got time for that! 😂 I seriously had a horrible first application experience bc I was on a schedule and couldn’t just redo my eyes. I wound up switching back to my Abh to salvage the look.
I can always count on you to give me the honesty and truth when it comes to anything that may be negative but you say it in a way that’s so nice and kind. Thanks Mel! 💜💜
Bummed that this one didn’t work out for you Mel, the looks you created are beautiful though. I have had a great experience with this palette. I do prime and set my eyes though (I’m 50, and starting to see the ‘maturing’ on my lids 😂 so I need to set for the smoothest application) the sequin row is actually my favorite, the tiniest glitter but gives my eyes an extra spark of glimmer ☺️ and my husband even noticed ❤️ he said my eyes looked extra beautiful, he very rarely comments on my eye makeup (what man does though 😂) I can’t wait for our next ‘date night’ so I can use the ‘grownup’ glitters 💜
In older and I have to use a cream nyx base and set it, too. For any shadow. I played in the glitter and even tho I didn't have a glitter glue and my eyes are small and very hooded, I had very little fall out.
I labsolutely LOVE Mel and am loyal but I buy what I like. I bought ND Safari and Tropic and ABH Subculture and love them all! Still waiting to receive my Tati Palette. Wish there had been more color variety but wanted to support.
It's so strange. Half the people are really loving it and don't have those problems and the other half are having the same issues. I'm guessing, since makeup is personal, that the half which likes it is the half that maybe has similar skin and eye texture to Tati's and/or uses the same techniques. Doesn't mean anyone is lying, but that not every product works for everyone
I am a huge Tati supporter and I am waiting for my palettes to arrive, but I appreciate your honesty and your said your opinion in a professional manner. I am looking forward to receiving mine tomorrow and seeing how the pigmentation payoff is on me. Thank you again for not trashing or bashing Tati. 🥰
Mel is the one of most talented makeup artist here on youtube!! Just wow. 🙌 its easy to follow and learn to make different eye looks. Thank you. (Plus no annoying music or anything like it, just relaxing and on point kinda videos that i enjoy)
Mel, you are such an eyeshadow pro! Your professional reviews and detailes comments on individual colors demonstrate your virtuoso! Love love your videos!
I've had this palette since it first came out. I was so excited to recieve it, but kept having issues and was so discouraged because all other reviews I saw were nothing but positive. You are legitimately the only UA-camr that explains the exact issues I keep having with this palette. I really appreciate your honesty review!!
that is such a pretty look....it is such an intimidating pallet for me....i don’t wear glitter as I’m 52....think that’s a bit much...lol. I am intrigued with the other colours and textures though....you are so great at the specific blending techniques you do and that is so great for us that need that education. I can’t believe the intensity of the colours....i have a feeling that the brushes being a great quality do help with the blending...not using cheaper ones that don’t have that quality....
As always, I’m here for the finest eye and face tutorials together with absolute honesty in product reviews. And, as always Mel, you don’t disappoint. Thank you for the beautiful eye looks and your opinion on this new palette release. Love you! 🤗
Thank you so much Mel!! Appreciate your review and honesty. I was actually hoping that the glitter wouldn’t stay in the sequin matte because i felt like there weren’t enough matte options but am bummed that they are the exact shade as the bottom row without the glitter. Was hoping for a little difference to be able to use them to deepen up the crease and outer V.
Ok so this is my first time on this channel and I came because to be honest I was a bit annoyed of ONLY positive reviews. I mean, even when someone loves a pallet, we always give our opinion on the negative side too. I feel many were “afraid” to say anything bad and a subscriber of this channel sent me here. I just HAD to subscribe. Very honest person and does a beautiful job blending! I love that you said the obvious. This review is only on the pallet and NOT the creator. Great vid!
You're definitely not the only one who has had problems with this palette. Specifically, the blending. I can't get it to blend to save my life! Not that I'm an expert or anything... but at the end of the day it has to work for ME. Me with my skillset and my tools. Everyone's skin on their eyes is different so you can't expect one eyeshadow to work for EVERYONE. I have a daughter in college that is getting mine... and if it doesn't work for her, she has a dorm full of friends to try it! Have a great day! ❤
I just uploaded my video and I'm nervous🥺🥺 SO HAPPY I wasn't the only one having issues with the Mattes. I felt alone in my experience, and I was worried about uploading my review, but I had to be honest. And that's what I LOVE about you. You ALWAYS keep it 100%💋💋 I agree. They are pigmented, but don't like to blend🙄🙄🤪🤪 You did such a GREAT job👏👏🙌🙌💋💋
Tara Lynn it’s so sad you have to worry about giving an honest review ,, these Stan’s are idiots , Tati didn’t care when she trashed Emily noels palette , and told her to collaborate with color pop ,, that was ok or how she lied about the j Charles palettes ,, good for you for being honest with your viewers like Mel was ,,,
I’ve seen another one or two that had trouble with blending. I just don’t understand why people can’t have different experiences. I love watching Mel, but sometimes I have trouble with shadows she loves, doesn’t mean that I think she’s lying about the product.
The Ulta brand liquid metallic and liquid glitters are beautiful and easy to use!! They're abt $7 each and they're often on sale or buy one get one free. I love them and don't know why nobody talks about them
Really good video. I've tried it only twice but I'm having the same issues with the mattes. Really wish the sequin looked like it does when you swatch it, but I agree just looks matte on the lid.
Finally an honest review!!! People love Tati so everything has been positive. I had debating to get this or not, the hype has been huge! but I know she is coming up with more things, I’ll so I’ll wait! Thank you Mel!!!
I didn't have any trouble with mine. I used the pure get a grib eye primer. I did set it and it worked pretty great. I think maybe setting it, it will work better for you. Agree on the sequence row. Any shadow like that the glitter disappears.
I agree 100% with the sequin formula. Sometimes colourpop puts a sequin like shadow in their palette...tiny sparkle that looks beautiful in pan, on eye, fluffs away.
Thanks for keeping it real. I literally always watch your videos before I purchase anything. I appreciate your honesty. I almost bought this too when it came out lol
Mel I used to like Tati and JS... but I don’t feel them authentic anymore. However something that I love from you it’s your honest reviews. You are right I have these shades in different palettes with even better quality / price. You are a true makeup artist
Omg.....that’s why I love you. You are so honest and thank you sooo much for telling the truth and not sugar coating it and pretending it’s so amazing. $50+ is a lot and I’ve heard there no return policy? So if you don’t like it and won’t use it then it’s a lot of money wasted. Thank you sooooo much for being so amazing. I’ve watched all the other youtubers and I could tell they weren’t looking great on the eyes and need a lot of work to look good.
Jacy Miller for sure. Makes me so mad because the same youtubers were bashing Anastasia Beverly Hills subculture palette and prism because it’s too pigmented and you need the very light hand with it. I’ve got the prism palette and it’s fine for me. And then everyone were bashing colourpop glitters but Tati’s are totally the same issues as the glitters and matts...but everyone saying just use the light hand and fall out is not bad and get over it. It’s like what? I understand people want to support their favorite youtubers...but don’t be all lying and promoting something that ain’t that good. I believe Jackson hill got the same backlash from her vault collection as Anastasia Beverly Hills. But Tati’s palette is like a gold and if you mention something to Tati she’d block you and then make a video about how people are mean to her lol too funny to me. I used to watch her all the time and loved her and then she’s got too over her head and started acting like a diva. Lol
You can't return or exchange Colourpop products either. All sales are final. I can understand a company doing this when they first start out but Colourpop must be making a ton of money by now.
Stacey7742 I believe customers should be able to return a product if they don’t like it. No return policy to me is just companies being greedy and don’t care about customer satisfaction. Tati already sells her vitamins so she is not a new company. That’s why people hadn’t any issues ordering her palette. She already figured out the system. It’s a huge hassle to return items and means loosing a lot of money.
I thought the sequin row was ugly and stupid until I saw a reviewer take it outside and show it in the sun and all of a sudden the sequin row was soooo stunning. It’s too bad it doesnt show up! Also thank you for the HONEST review!!!
Mel, you are one classy lady & that type of petulant behavior will not be tolerated. I appreciate the fact that you stay true to what your core beliefs are & it has nothing to do with how thick someone's skin is or isn't, unkind remarks hurt everyone who pour their love into their passion. It is also important to note that an honest thought from someone who knows their craft only increases their credibility. Please take to heart what I am saying, as I stated originally, Mel, you are one classy lady & that class shines through in every video you post. Thank you for ALL you do. Please continue to pour that love, passion & expertise into you being you, Beauty.💕
I wonder if ABH primer affects blend. I have heard a lot of people say that with diff palettes like ABH works great with some formulas and not with others
Mel Thompson I usually use Mac paint pot. But I did get the small ABH primer cause you use it a lot. I tried with Metropolis palette worked well I’ve just heard a lot of people say if not set gives prob blending. But I will try Tati with ABH on one eye and paint pot on other and do a little research! Lol. I love you and Tati regardless two strong beautiful women.
I was watching a review of another person who is great at blending and would often be critical of how things would blend. And when I heard her say, "It looks patchy but that might just be my fault," it kind of made me sad. I love your honesty, and I feel it's important to be this critical and constructive with any product regardless of whose name is on it.
Thanks for your honesty Mel. You really test the palettes, working their shadows in a "real " way...Your opinion is so important for me cause you talk about them with a true and full knowledge.
Hi Mel. I got the palette and was intrigued with what you noticed about the sequins. I did the same as you and I blew on them several times and my sequins stayed. I didnt have a problem with them blowing off. You might want to contact C/S and see if they will send you another. Thanks for the review on this.
Thank you Mel for a great review. You are certainly one that has such a unique way in applying eyeshadows and the way you blend them effortlessly. I was curious about the palette and your review confirmed this might not be the right palette when I look for easily blendable formulas.
Thanks for doing not one but two looks, it's appreciated. I watched another channel that had slight patchiness with the matte burgundy shade as well. This was a great review!!
OMG Mell this is a great review of the pallet I haven’t heard anybody talk about how those two rows are exactly the same, and yes all sequin shades are annoying the glitter never stays on them no matter what you do you might get one or two Little specs that states but that’s it. Thank you for such a good review Mell really🥰
I trust your reviews so much you are so thorough. People shouldn’t be mad this is your opinion and experience with the product. Your so right about the two bottom rows didn’t notice that in any other review. Besides the black their essentially the same colors. I was undecided about getting it but you definitely made up my mind. Nothing against Tati I absolutely love her thanks so much for your input ♥️♥️♥️♥️
And this is why I watch you. Was going to get this, not anymore. The nude mini Huda is looking better to me now, lol. Thank you, thank you, for this honest review. You are just the best!
dobcsek I have ABH, Tilbury, Too Faced, Color Pop, Lancôme, for palette collections. So far Tilbury’s velvet formula is my fav, so I’m anxious to try Huda’s formula.
I'm in my 50s so the sequin row gave just enough shimmer to enhance my eyes and not have me trying to look like a teenager. I love the palette and found that it blends out better when you start out with very little on your brush and build up from there. Also, FWIW, Allie Glines did a review and said that the sequin shades work well with a small, dampened fluffy brush laid down gently onto the eye. All in all, though, I really appreciate this truly unbiased review from a legit artist of makeup. Love you, Mel!
That's what I was hoping for. I'm in my 60's and I currently do apply a pop of shimmer in the center of my lid so I was thinking the sequin row would be up my alley. I probably won't get a lot of use out of the actual glitters but the neutrals are what I love. My palette should be here next week....can't wait!
I never order anything until I’ve seen every review possible. . . except this time.😔 I was so excited about this pallet and dazzled by how gorgeous it is visually. It’s so well thought out and I LOVE the color story. Plus, I expect Tati’s products to be perfection so I ordered at launch. Received it today, got on you tube and am now seeing the challenges with blending that weren’t there previously. Very bummed and wish I would not have spent $58.😢 I am 55 and don’t wear glitter soooo am hoping I can make this pallet work. I am encouraged by @kim’s experience and would like to hear about yours too @cherbear. I keep thinking Tati is going to release some looks with the pallet and wonder why she has not. I think that is strange. Hoping she teaches all exactly how to use the pallet for success.
I swear you can make anything look amazing! You’re truly skilled in the art of applying makeup. Since you’re an OG MAC girl, I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you review some of their pigments &/or loose glitters. I will always be a die hard fan of their pigments, even when I’m Old and gray. They’re such a hidden gem most people don’t use because they either don’t know about them, or their intimidated by the loose formula. Either way, I’d REALLLLLLYYY enjoy seeing you do a look with some. Thanks chicky!! 💜🤩✊🤩💜
skincareaddicted maybe but keep in mind that makeup is different for everybody because everybody is different. There are makeup items that the masses rave about that I’ve tried to love but they just doesn’t work for me. So even though a lot of people might like those products, I don’t care for them. Regardless, I think we all appreciate honest reviews either way
Actually after her "bye sister" drama, she came out looking really bad cuz basically most of her allegations were debunked with proof. So not everyone is that eager to kiss her ass.
I struggle with coconut on my face, too, so it's good to know that you didn't have a problem on the eyes! And thank you for the honesty about the mattes. Good tip to try to set it. Mine is coming soon, so it helps to know what to expect! And oh my gosh, I saw a sweet puppy! Oh my goodness!
I like your honesty. You're considerate with the explanation of the lack of glitter in the second row which in all honesty, I expected it to disappear, so I'm not upset. I bought this pallet and am still happy with my purchase. I now know I have to be a little careful in the application, so thank you for mentioning that.
Mary (Glitzy Fritzy) always talks about you. I’ve watched your videos but never subscribed. I am now subscribing. I have watched several review videos on this palette, and you are the first person who has not ‘oohed’, ‘ahed’, and drooled over it. Wish I would’ve been able to see this before ordering. Great info! At least, now I know what to expect when mine finally arrives xoxo, Swoozie
Gorgeous! Love both looks but the first is my favorite! Was that puffin lipstick you had on? I’m loving it!! I get compliments every time i wear it! I just got this palette yesterday!
I’m actually excited for the sequins row for more daily use-just a little sparkle vs a BAM of glitter. Love the glitters but I wouldn’t wear that every day and the in other reviews I have seen them wet their brush and the sequins sparkle stays perfectly. I see most BGs use wetting the brush on most palettes so it isn’t just this one. I can’t afford PM or TF or even ND so I like that this gets me close without a huge price tag...even though it is more expensive than my normal CP or drugstore stuff. Are you going to review JS and SD?
With a palette this big, I wpuld expect about 3 matte transition colors. Thanks for the review. I am passing on this one and getting the Natasha Denona gold pallette for the Rouge sale.
UPDATE: I tried this palette again with a set base. I had the same problems. I used fix plus on one eye and my finger on the other with the sequin formula on the lid. On the side with the finger, the glitter was gone within 5 min. The side with the fix plus did apply a lot nicer, however....after that dried down, it only lasted on the lid a little over an hour. I still like the metallics and the glitters but I am giving this palette to a subscriber who missed out on it and really wants it. I want to mention again that this was a review about a palette, not a person.
Mel Thompson thanks for the follow up.
Mel Thompson You are so eloquent!
Thank you for the follow up Mel. I appreciate your thoroughness:)
Mel Thompson If the palette doesn’t work for you then I would get rid of it, too. You love the ND Lila palette and I hate that darn thing. It cost me over $100. Everybody has different eyelids and faces. One palette may work on one person and not the other. Thanks for giving it the old college try. I’m still trying to get my Lila palette to work, ugh. 😐
Thank you so much for the update! Love how you’re so dedicated to this and how good you are to your fans. And you’re so sweet for gifting it to a subscriber. ❤️❤️❤️
For anyone here that normally doesn’t watch Mel, she is an eyeshadow MASTER and you can definitely trust her review. Beautiful looks Mel!
Jale Beecham absolutely, Mel is the best, super talented, super beautiful and 100% honest. One of the very few I trust and make purchases pending her reviews. 💖💖😊
@@anip1027 my sister had the exact, same issues - neither my sister or Mel are disengenuious, I can vouch for that 👍🏻
@@anip1027 glad you agree my opinion is valid 😉
Agree!!! I really hope she reviews the Jeffree S/Shane Dawson Conspiracy palette.
Modern Ruki I doubt it. She
Is not a J* fan.
So DISAPPOINTED to see that Mel got so many dislikes on this video (more than usual average) probably from the Tati supporters who want to see nothing but PERFECT comments on this palette, come on!! If she wanted to say this was 100% perfect then she would be an AD like most people on here, Mel is actually someone I trust!!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Mel Thompson LOVE LOVE LOVE your work ❤️🙌💕
Ironically Tati doesn't want to review you tubers make up any more after she reviewed Emily Noel and her fans came for her. Keep being you. It's a palette not a person xxx
@Jacy Miller I could not agree more! Tati could have gone about it in a totally different way and still been respectful about it. She was over dramatic and her techniques when she applied it all was a joke. She acted like someone who had never applied makeup before and the colors she chose (out of all the ones to chose from) were a poor choice imo. She acted like a total bratty victim when called out on how she acted and reviewed that palette. Then she got nasty towards Kiki and Emily herself.. I lost every bit of respect for Tati after that. Now I see her and just gag over how self absorbed and overly dramatic she is. That girl has no clue about the real world. Sorry for the rant. But I've remained pissed about all of that ever since it happened.
Tati handled that whole situation like a petulant child. Emily Noel and Kiki Chanel got caught in the crossfires because Tati didn't like that people thought her review was total BS. She should keep away from reviewing other youtuber's products. She loved James Charles palette and look how that all turned out.
@@Elaine_S self absorbed is the perfect way to explain Tati. I used to be a fan but lost my taste for her over time, as she got bigger and bigger. Watched her be a cool, fun person to a stuck up drama queen. I haven't watched her in a long time.
@spooky katt totally agree! I see those palettes in every TJ Maxx/Marshalls now! Why? Because word of mouth gets around that they are just meh colors and so so quality. They did not sell and/or they were the palettes that had formula issues and had to be pulled which Tati mentioned in her follow up video saying perhaps she got one if the defective palettes.
@@Elaine_S I have to disagree that Tati purposely used bad techniques to apply the eyeshadow. She used the exact same techniques as for her other videos, that’s pretty obvious. I didn’t hear any ‘jokes’ either. The palette was terrible, that’s not Emily’s fault it’s Makeup Revolution’s formulas that are very much hit and miss. However, Kiki Chanel’s video about Tati was horrendous and make Kiki look idiotic for fabricating drama. I’m suspecting that you heard about Tati’s video from someone and didn’t watch the video yourself. But then again you’ll probably double down on having ‘watched’ it just because I called you out on it. Have a nice day.
No one could ever make me believe Mel is disingenuous or a liar. Why can’t people understand that this was her experience with the palette and makeup is personal. All of this bickering back and forth and calling people liars is absurd and absolute nonsense.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Exactly. It’s freaking makeup. There are a lot bigger issues in the 🌎. I live in Santa Clarita, we had a school shooting yesterday.
Randi MacDonald I saw that on the news yesterday. You and your community are in my thoughts and prayers! 🙁❤️❤️❤️
@@cindyb4469 Thank you, puts things into perspective. Pppl fighting over makeup when two parents lost their children. 3 if you count the shooter.
So much this!!🙌🏻
Just because Mel didn't like it doesn't mean she is lying, just like the people who loved it aren't lying. Everyone is different and has different techniques and preferences.
*"Its not a review of Tati, it's a review of the palette!"* ...
This REALLY sums up so much of the bias and bs we have to sift through to find a clean, concise, informative, detailed review like yours!! Thanks Mel for alway keeping it flawlessly real and looking gorgeous while you do it😘
Megan Sarah Idk. I’ve seen a lot of influencer reviews from people who didn’t receive the palette in PR and didn’t have the same issues with blending and such. It might be that Mel used a base that was far too emollient for these shadows. People describe most of the shadows as “creamy” and the glitters as a tad dry. Check out Taylor Wynn’s review and What Would Lizzy Do. They bought the palette. 🤷🏽♀️
Annie Camacho even if they bought it , they still could be biased because they want to stay on her goud side ,cmon ,,, I’ve seen others that where brave enough to say their where flaws ,, Tati is not a chemist she picks the colors
Sure but when you see the reviews of customers that have been playing around with the palette for a while, the majority say it's great quality and very beginner friendly.
Only person I trust when it comes to eye makeup pallets!!! This women KNOWS her stuff, especially eyeshadows!!!! Not to mention she is a stunner!!!
I'm not a hater but brittany nichole knows her makeup palettes
Mel can you do a video on your must have eyeshadow palettes? I’d love to know what you love and recommend! ❤️
I love that idea. A list of must have from Mel would be something I would definitely listen to.
Yes, please!
Totally love the idea
I’m surprised she don’t have one
This is such a great idea!
I ordered this palette as well... I was hoping that third row was not matte with glitter... that formula just makes no sense to me... it would of been nice to be shimmers instead... dang... I'm nervous about those mattes now lol... the glitters look nice :D great vid Mel! xx
Thank you Tara!! I hope you have better luck than I did ❤️
I can't remember if you hauled this Tara? you should do a stand alone video.. love you
OMG love your hauls!
@@angelsightv1305 She hauled it last night..
I'm amazed at the comments telling Mel how to do her eyeshadows wow!!! She's an expert and her skills are one of the best I've seen. I expect to have to work extra on a palette that is $5 to $20 but not on one that is $50. I expect it to look awesome, period. Just my opinion.
I can already see everyone is so afraid to say anything negative about this palette. You were at least honest. Not a fan of Tati so this is definitely not on my wish list.
Katie Speirs respectfully disagree. Tati liked and retweeted Manny MUA’s review, which was not 100% positive (he had issues with one of the textures gathering). I think folks are being kind, yes, but overall honest of what they think.
I agree. Ppl want to continue to get pr from Tati, so no one wants to say anything negative .
@@Randilynn66 Those are some empty assumptions you're making. Tati Beauty is a 2 month old brand with only 1 product. It's not like this is an established brand that people absolutely do not want to miss out on. And if you read customer's reviews, they're absolutely glowing. But God forbid someone comes out with a genuinely great palette that works wonders for beginners, right?
@Dr. Deb Snodgrass Allie Glines is totally biased. Her and Tati are good friends.
You are SO wonderful. I knew the sequins wouldn’t work. We’ve seen a ton of mattes with glitter particles and they NEVER adhere. I’m also not into glitter. This was an easy pass for me. I do love Tati though. But it’s so refreshing to see someone stay so honest considering who she is. Big love Mel. This will earn you more trust from many people. There may be some hate but that usually comes from people who are just blind to any opinion that differs from theirs. Don’t give it any weight. You are a true gem!!!!!
Thank you!!! ❤️
Christine Shadya These sequin shades are way better than others. But to make the sparkle pop, you have to wet a flat brush with fix plus or any other spray. Then they’re gorgeous.
I couldn’t make other matte sparkle shades in other palettes work.
B.b. Gun thing is some of us Hate Loath Glitter... and to have 2 rows of the same color. Then the shimmers.. then glitter... nah... big pass for me too.
I adore Tati. Was elated to have her release a palette. Alas it’s like handing me whisky when I’m dying of thirst. And don’t drink. Hehe. Just not for me at all. Still adore Tati though!
Christine Shadya
Well said!
I agree! 💯
Agreed! I’d cry if Mel ever sold out to us and quit being honest. She’s the BEST! Her and Stephanie Nicole are my favorite because they’re both so honest. Stephanie is incredibly knowledgeable and knows her shit and Mel is incredibly talented and makes the most beautiful looks.
I kind of wish instead of the sequins she just had another row of mattes like one dark and one light
Yes!! I think that makes much more sense. My biggest complaint is that only 1/4 of the shadows are matte.
Ashley M exactly why I’m not buying it I’m going to buy the Natasha Danona BiBa palette... I’m on the hunt for a new neutral palette... and I’m not a glitter gal... sequence sparkle gal at all... I’ve been waiting for Tati to release makeup... and this to me... is not my cup of tea. Sad too! I adore Tati. But ill waist 2/3 of the palette... and if the mattes don’t blend well... eh.
No ... I’ll pass... I wish she did a talc free shadow. But I’m sure many others will love this.
YAAAAASSSSS ... That would've been perfect!!! That's exactly what's missing. So smart Armand!
I think it’s a boring palette. The glitters are what make it pretty. I like your honest option. You have extensive knowledge and trust your opinion.
Eh, I disagree, the sequin row is the one I'm most excited about.
Finally an unbiased review. If any other brand would have release this palette, most reviewers would say “it’s another boring neutral palette” thank you for your honesty❤️
Lol. The funny thing is that Tati herself says it’s a basics palette and she’s ok if that’s not exciting for people. I do like her unbiased review.
@LB, right? I was rolling my eyes out of my head, hahahaha.
I like this palette better than all my Jeffree Star ones. More than all my palettes really. I just don't see why grown adults speak like this. Maybe the world would be a bit kinder if we respect other people. Maybe follow the Golden rule. I am a JS lover and I wanted to try this palette without really knowing who Tati was... and I'm glad I did. But good lord... Grow up. You are adults. The way you act, I'm embarrassed for you. I hope your kids aren't witnessing your behavior! Set a good example.
@@whiskeyrivers, who's not acting like an adult? Us, freely expressing our opinion, or you, with your name calling?
And I really hope my kids will be calling bulls** when they see it.
Actually, I'm pretty sure my son will say: Bulls** is for the birds, hahaha.
This is honestly, one of the best, more complete reviews I’ve seen of this palette. I appreciate the sincerity. Nothing against Tati, I used to watch her, not as much now because tastes change but I felt from the beginning, her popularity will colour most reviews. If Too Faced released this, it would have been dragged as boring, repetitive and unnecessary. It’s incredibly unlikely for people’s affection for her and to be honest, fear of backlash not to bias the situation somewhat.
She’s a smart business woman and her idea of having pre orders (before any truly legitimate reviews from people who weren’t sent the palette come out) is brilliant. As far as I know, she doesn’t accept returns. And having seen a million “I’m so broke but I have buy this to support Tati” or “I have these colours but I love her sooo much I have to buy this” comments, I will say this: You can support your favourites by watching their videos. Your money and financial health are more important than spending what you don’t have on something you don’t want or need. Tati isn’t supporting you by paying your credit card bills. She’ll be juuuuuust fine.
Someone I agree with! Thank You!
I 2000 I agree, I’m mostly a neutrals girl with an occasional pop of colour type makeup junkie (though for me personally, this leans too orange which doesn’t look good on me). I’m not actually dragging the palette, I’m just saying in the YT landscape when critiques come in, it usually seems all neutral palettes get dragged as boring but Tati’s didn’t. Outside of YT, they’re certainly the ones that sell. I find the two different worlds fascinating actually. Rainbow palettes have been a huge trend all year and yet I’ve never seen one person (friend, family, teenager, stranger on the street) in real life wearing anything close to bright primary colours on their eyes.
@@lindsayhoffman2688 You're absolutely right. The majority of people have no clue who Tati or other beauty UA-camrs are and don't follow the industry trends. Almost all of my friends and family that wear makeup wear neutrals, and I don't mean the orange and reds that many brands call neutral, have a small collection and rarely, if ever, step foot in Sephora. A few friends have some higher end products that include the Naked 1 or 2 palette, BareMinerals, Lancome or Estee Lauder.
Definitely agree. So much of business these days seems to be preying on people’s lack of critical thinking 🤦🏼♀️
@@revenge0lobster For a min I read your name as Forest Whitaker!! I'm sure you get that a lot though
Thank you for your review - this is literally the first honest review I’ve seen! I watched other reviews where you could see some of the same issues you spoke about occurring, and the reviewer didn’t say anything and said everything worked perfectly. I know it’s tricky when your reviewing another (huge) UA-camr’s product but I think it’s still so important to give an honest review - consumers are spending their hard earned money. So again thank you!! It’s truly appreciated!!
And I don't think Tati would have minded Honesty. Personally, I don't think she wants to be lied too.
@LB James Charles being predatory is less? You're just a Tati hater... obviously.
@@mandielou I think they're referring to the Kiki or Emily Noels drama, not Tati's shady Bye Sister video.
thank you mel!👍🏻
Jacy Miller wow... your last sentence is fucked up.
Gosssshh you have the best eyelids! I would die to do your makeup! the artistry I could create on that canvas...
Come! Come do my makeup!!!!!!
Best review of this pallet and most honest...I love how you approached the review showing how long it took to blend your flawless look...I would never spend 16 minutes blending two colors together..so it’s not for me...I think your statement was great: if you love and want to support Tati do it! Waiting for volume 2 bc of this review! Thank you! 🙏
I absolutely adore. Always being honest. Most people are too afraid to give Tati a bad review, even if they dont like the product. We need more influencers like you.
Thank you for your honesty, Mel. No explanation necessary. You have always been honest no matter whose product it is. Tati is just another person releasing a palette. She isn't a god. Just like anything else, it can work for some and not others. I thought you were very gracious in your criticism. Thank you for being critical of products. I appreciate that so much.
Been looking at a TON of reviews for the past week and you are the only person I feel to give a “real”, unbiased review. Just my opinion. Thanks Mel💙
If Mel has trouble with blending this formula there is no hope for the rest of us cause she’s the blending queen 😆
Agreeeee!!!!
Yes.
Word
@h - they're lying 😆
Couldn't agree more!
I really appreciate how you can take the person out of the product, and give a very classy review whether it’s negative or positive.
Brilliant in-depth review Mel! You are an aficionado on eyeshadow and your views are to be relied upon. You are kind and considerate with your comments which is nice to see. Very helpful advice for someone thinking about purchasing. Thank you X
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg these looks are sooooooo pretty!!! But you are so right about the formulas and I love that you mentioned these things because it’s not cheap and it really helps those of us who were trying to decide if we want to spend our money on this palette 💖🙏 thank you so much!
This is the only video that I have seen that have these issues, I really appreciate your honesty!
That's why I wait for Mel, and she's super classy about her feedback!
1000 % with you, she is so honest and we could even see she had a hard time blending 🤔
Exactly - Mel's integrity is right up there and she would not compromise that, for anything 😚
Manny said the same thing about the sequin formula that the glitter doesn't stick.
Kelsee Brianna Bae also had a hard time blending the dark brown colour.
Yay! I'm so glad that Mel has the integrity to give an honest review for this palette! All the other reviews I've seen for this palette were the typical, "OMG! Tati's palette is amazing! It's the best thing I've put on my eyes this entire year! I just love supporting fellow UA-camrs!" *insert eye roll* I've even unsubbed from a few because it seems they are more worried about supporting their fellow UA-camr than supporting their viewers by giving an honest review. Mel, you are then one that's amazing and girl...you still pulled off 2 fierce looks with this palette even though you had issues with it. You are Queen!
I’ve watched like 20 reviews and they were “meh” compared to yours! You make them look so beautiful! Why didn’t you get this in PR. Does Tati not know you or something? Your amazing!
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yup! Mel can make anything look Amazing 😍
They're on the same level skill wise, Mel just has a real life to contend with her career, where as tati has made her career her life. I trust them both to inform and suggest. I think if Mel reached out and/or traveled to collab with other creators it would grow her viewership, but she's grown so far basically by word of mouth.
@@Talestra ❤️
This is a review I trust
I wasn’t planning on buying this palette for a number of reasons initially. Your review confirmed it for me. I probably would have been swayed to get it if you loved it because you are my go to on all things makeup and I trust you implicitly. Thank you for being honest and true to who you are always. That and your incredible warmth and talent are why I am here everyday. I always know that you don’t get swept away in the social media mayhem and stay true to who you are and I adore and respect you for this.
Just like Tati didn't deserve the nasty responses she received when she didn't like EmilyNoel's Makeup Revolution collab, you certainly didn't deserve it for this review. Makeup is so subjective and used to be about expressing individuality but now, abuse is heaped upon anyone with a differing opinion. I'll just never understand why people get so angry at strangers on the internet that don't like something they do!
Exactly. That Kiki Chanel video was beyond idiotic. She was just trying to increase her viewership by inserting herself and fabricating ‘drama’ just because Tati didn’t like another UA-camr’s palette. People are allowed to have an opinion without others piling on them.
How could anyone leave you a bad comment because of this??? Your opinion is so leveled and you are being so respectful!! i don't understand...
First true critique of this palette thus far! Everyone has just been doting over this palette with only the highest praises. Thank You, for keeping it 💯 I don’t think that people are lying about their experience with this palette, but more so they are finding it too hard to separate their love for Tati to find any fault in the palette whatsoever.
I appreciate this honest and insightful review. Your artistry is amazing and thank you for all you put into your channel.
I just opened my palette so I'm here for some inspiration!! The orange sequin color shows the glitter on the eye really well. It is gorgeous.
Shelby Hall applied with a wet brush they’re even prettier.
I haven't had trouble with anything in this palette. Everything sparkles and shines. I love it!
I used the pallet and didn't have any issues blending. And I'm not just saying this because of Tati I really haven't had a problem.
Me neither I been using it everyday since I got it and the sequins are actually my favorite formula in the palette besides the glitters. The metallics didn’t do anything for me tho
I’ve been using it everyday and it’s been amazing. Mattes are easy to blend with great pigment. I’ve been using the sequin formula with the iconic London shimmer spray that came in last months boxycharm. I’ve done all over the lid, but my fave way to use them is as liner. Poet sequin liner is gorgeous. That spray is like magic for this formula. Try it out if you get Boxycharm.
Thank you for giving both pros and cons, as well as demonstrating more than one look. Your honest reviews, opinions, and explanations are appreciated.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I e-mailed Tati beauty and told them how talented you are and that you should be on their PR list in the future.
Thank you! That was very kind of you❤️❤️❤️
Mel Thompson But it’s a little bit selfish too, I want you to get as much PR as possible so you can make videos and early reviews 😊. I’m addicted to your channel 😬💗
Oooooh!!! Good idea girl!!!! I'm gonna start requesting she be put on PR lists too!!!!
@@amypanddirtytoo1926 yay, that´s a good way to support the best UA-camr ever.
Hopefully Tati sees Mel's review and Armand's comment about replacing sequin row with lighter matte tones of each shade story.
You are the Queen. Thank you so much for your unbiased and informative review. I'll probably get the palette but I am SO happy to have a really honest review of ALL of the formulas so I won't have any surprises when I receive it. And, those two looks you created are so stunning. Love ya' girl! And, your puppy in the mirror is soooo cute.
She loves attention! lol
Mel: " This shade is really hard to blend" ..proceeds to make it look like perfection.
😂😂😂16 min later 😂😂😂
@@melthompson2856 LOL!
Yeah, your standards are really high! It's a good thing though. Your problems were how my eyeshadow looks on a good day. 😆😅
Haha but like she said it took her like 15 minutes to blend....ain’t nobody got time for that! 😂 I seriously had a horrible first application experience bc I was on a schedule and couldn’t just redo my eyes. I wound up switching back to my Abh to salvage the look.
@@melthompson2856 Ha! ... waiting on mine in the restock.....16 weeks later...okay, not really 16 weeks......
I can always count on you to give me the honesty and truth when it comes to anything that may be negative but you say it in a way that’s so nice and kind. Thanks Mel! 💜💜
Bummed that this one didn’t work out for you Mel, the looks you created are beautiful though. I have had a great experience with this palette. I do prime and set my eyes though (I’m 50, and starting to see the ‘maturing’ on my lids 😂 so I need to set for the smoothest application) the sequin row is actually my favorite, the tiniest glitter but gives my eyes an extra spark of glimmer ☺️ and my husband even noticed ❤️ he said my eyes looked extra beautiful, he very rarely comments on my eye makeup (what man does though 😂) I can’t wait for our next ‘date night’ so I can use the ‘grownup’ glitters 💜
I agree! I had the same experience. The glitter in the sequin lasted for 12 hours!!
In older and I have to use a cream nyx base and set it, too. For any shadow. I played in the glitter and even tho I didn't have a glitter glue and my eyes are small and very hooded, I had very little fall out.
I labsolutely LOVE Mel and am loyal but I buy what I like. I bought ND Safari and Tropic and ABH Subculture and love them all! Still waiting to receive my Tati Palette. Wish there had been more color variety but wanted to support.
Yeah majority of customers have been having a great experience with this palette. Makes you wonder what she did wrong..
It's so strange. Half the people are really loving it and don't have those problems and the other half are having the same issues. I'm guessing, since makeup is personal, that the half which likes it is the half that maybe has similar skin and eye texture to Tati's and/or uses the same techniques. Doesn't mean anyone is lying, but that not every product works for everyone
I love your honesty and your super high standards. Never loose them, you quickly become one of my faves:)
thanks Mel, you saved me some money today! I had a lot of doubts about this palette and it would have been a disappointment! Great video Xoxoxo
Hi Mel! I love your channel. I am glad you are courageous enough to give an honest review. Pls keep up the good work. Thanks for your honesty.
Thank you. You are the first person to talk about the positive and negative in this pallet. Thank you for being honest.
I am a huge Tati supporter and I am waiting for my palettes to arrive, but I appreciate your honesty and your said your opinion in a professional manner. I am looking forward to receiving mine tomorrow and seeing how the pigmentation payoff is on me. Thank you again for not trashing or bashing Tati. 🥰
I really wish that she had made the "sequin" row just a satin formula. :/
Mel is the one of most talented makeup artist here on youtube!! Just wow. 🙌 its easy to follow and learn to make different eye looks. Thank you. (Plus no annoying music or anything like it, just relaxing and on point kinda videos that i enjoy)
Mel, your honest and thoughtful review is so refreshing. Great job!
Mel, you are such an eyeshadow pro! Your professional reviews and detailes comments on individual colors demonstrate your virtuoso! Love love your videos!
Thanks for your review! I've heard that when you apply the Sequins with Fix+, the sparkles stay in the eyeshadow. ❤️👍
I've had this palette since it first came out. I was so excited to recieve it, but kept having issues and was so discouraged because all other reviews I saw were nothing but positive. You are legitimately the only UA-camr that explains the exact issues I keep having with this palette. I really appreciate your honesty review!!
The dog in the mirror! 💙💙💙🐕😘
lol! She loves to be the center of attention 😂
She is soooo cute! Have you seen Hindash's dog, Timmy? Must be the same breed, because they look like litter mates. So adorable!
Love that puppy so cute!🥰
that is such a pretty look....it is such an intimidating pallet for me....i don’t wear glitter as I’m 52....think that’s a bit much...lol. I am intrigued with the other colours and textures though....you are so great at the specific blending techniques you do and that is so great for us that need that education. I can’t believe the intensity of the colours....i have a feeling that the brushes being a great quality do help with the blending...not using cheaper ones that don’t have that quality....
Wow that observation about the sequin really is the newest thing I found out after watching tons of reviews. Ure awesome.
As always, I’m here for the finest eye and face tutorials together with absolute honesty in product reviews. And, as always Mel, you don’t disappoint. Thank you for the beautiful eye looks and your opinion on this new palette release. Love you! 🤗
Love you back!!!
Thank you so much Mel!! Appreciate your review and honesty. I was actually hoping that the glitter wouldn’t stay in the sequin matte because i felt like there weren’t enough matte options but am bummed that they are the exact shade as the bottom row without the glitter. Was hoping for a little difference to be able to use them to deepen up the crease and outer V.
Ok so this is my first time on this channel and I came because to be honest I was a bit annoyed of ONLY positive reviews. I mean, even when someone loves a pallet, we always give our opinion on the negative side too. I feel many were “afraid” to say anything bad and a subscriber of this channel sent me here. I just HAD to subscribe. Very honest person and does a beautiful job blending! I love that you said the obvious. This review is only on the pallet and NOT the creator. Great vid!
You're definitely not the only one who has had problems with this palette. Specifically, the blending. I can't get it to blend to save my life! Not that I'm an expert or anything... but at the end of the day it has to work for ME. Me with my skillset and my tools. Everyone's skin on their eyes is different so you can't expect one eyeshadow to work for EVERYONE. I have a daughter in college that is getting mine... and if it doesn't work for her, she has a dorm full of friends to try it!
Have a great day! ❤
I have issues with mine. Makes me happy I am not alone - Mine does not last at all :(
I just uploaded my video and I'm nervous🥺🥺 SO HAPPY I wasn't the only one having issues with the Mattes. I felt alone in my experience, and I was worried about uploading my review, but I had to be honest. And that's what I LOVE about you. You ALWAYS keep it 100%💋💋 I agree. They are pigmented, but don't like to blend🙄🙄🤪🤪 You did such a GREAT job👏👏🙌🙌💋💋
Ahh!!! I commented on your other comment first LOL now I need to go watch! You’re definitely not alone❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tara Lynn it’s so sad you have to worry about giving an honest review ,, these Stan’s are idiots , Tati didn’t care when she trashed Emily noels palette , and told her to collaborate with color pop ,, that was ok or how she lied about the j Charles palettes ,, good for you for being honest with your viewers like Mel was ,,,
I’ve seen another one or two that had trouble with blending. I just don’t understand why people can’t have different experiences. I love watching Mel, but sometimes I have trouble with shadows she loves, doesn’t mean that I think she’s lying about the product.
thank you for being the first really honest opinion! I didn’t believe for a second that this pallet was “perfect” No pallet is perfect!
Thanks so much for the Pixie glitter recommend. I need good glitters at a good price. So helpful, Mel :)
The Ulta brand liquid metallic and liquid glitters are beautiful and easy to use!! They're abt $7 each and they're often on sale or buy one get one free. I love them and don't know why nobody talks about them
@@Cara-39 Oh yeah? I'll give them a try. Thanks.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for you to review the upcoming Amor Eterno Collection by Melt Cosmetics! PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE MEL!
Mel, I appreciate your artistry and your honesty. Thanks for keeping it real.
Really good video. I've tried it only twice but I'm having the same issues with the mattes. Really wish the sequin looked like it does when you swatch it, but I agree just looks matte on the lid.
Your reviews are seriously the best and I don’t buy anything without first watching your videos. Thank you for your hard work!
Finally an honest review!!! People love Tati so everything has been positive. I had debating to get this or not, the hype has been huge! but I know she is coming up with more things, I’ll so I’ll wait! Thank you Mel!!!
I didn't have any trouble with mine. I used the pure get a grib eye primer. I did set it and it worked pretty great. I think maybe setting it, it will work better for you. Agree on the sequence row. Any shadow like that the glitter disappears.
I agree 100% with the sequin formula. Sometimes colourpop puts a sequin like shadow in their palette...tiny sparkle that looks beautiful in pan, on eye, fluffs away.
Thanks for keeping it real. I literally always watch your videos before I purchase anything. I appreciate your honesty. I almost bought this too when it came out lol
I'm allergic to coconut so good to know had no idea.
Tati mentioned it in her video.
@Aly Cadenas Kelsee Briana Jae
Mel I used to like Tati and JS... but I don’t feel them authentic anymore. However something that I love from you it’s your honest reviews. You are right I have these shades in different palettes with even better quality / price. You are a true makeup artist
Omg.....that’s why I love you. You are so honest and thank you sooo much for telling the truth and not sugar coating it and pretending it’s so amazing. $50+ is a lot and I’ve heard there no return policy? So if you don’t like it and won’t use it then it’s a lot of money wasted. Thank you sooooo much for being so amazing. I’ve watched all the other youtubers and I could tell they weren’t looking great on the eyes and need a lot of work to look good.
Jacy Miller yes...no return policy. That’s messed up for sure.
Jacy Miller for sure. Makes me so mad because the same youtubers were bashing Anastasia Beverly Hills subculture palette and prism because it’s too pigmented and you need the very light hand with it. I’ve got the prism palette and it’s fine for me. And then everyone were bashing colourpop glitters but Tati’s are totally the same issues as the glitters and matts...but everyone saying just use the light hand and fall out is not bad and get over it. It’s like what? I understand people want to support their favorite youtubers...but don’t be all lying and promoting something that ain’t that good. I believe Jackson hill got the same backlash from her vault collection as Anastasia Beverly Hills. But Tati’s palette is like a gold and if you mention something to Tati she’d block you and then make a video about how people are mean to her lol too funny to me. I used to watch her all the time and loved her and then she’s got too over her head and started acting like a diva. Lol
Jacy Miller yes that was bad.
You can't return or exchange Colourpop products either. All sales are final. I can understand a company doing this when they first start out but Colourpop must be making a ton of money by now.
Stacey7742 I believe customers should be able to return a product if they don’t like it. No return policy to me is just companies being greedy and don’t care about customer satisfaction. Tati already sells her vitamins so she is not a new company. That’s why people hadn’t any issues ordering her palette. She already figured out the system. It’s a huge hassle to return items and means loosing a lot of money.
I thought the sequin row was ugly and stupid until I saw a reviewer take it outside and show it in the sun and all of a sudden the sequin row was soooo stunning. It’s too bad it doesnt show up! Also thank you for the HONEST review!!!
My fav part of the review was your puppy’s face in the mirror!!! Those ears!!! Omg! Too cute.
Lol!!
Mel, you are one classy lady & that type of petulant behavior will not be tolerated. I appreciate the fact that you stay true to what your core beliefs are & it has nothing to do with how thick someone's skin is or isn't, unkind remarks hurt everyone who pour their love into their passion. It is also important to note that an honest thought from someone who knows their craft only increases their credibility. Please take to heart what I am saying, as I stated originally, Mel, you are one classy lady & that class shines through in every video you post. Thank you for ALL you do. Please continue to pour that love, passion & expertise into you being you, Beauty.💕
Thank you for always being so honest. I had no interest in this palette personally but I love watching you.
I wonder if ABH primer affects blend. I have heard a lot of people say that with diff palettes like ABH works great with some formulas and not with others
I don’t know, I LOVE the abh Primer. No other palettes have given me this problem
Mel Thompson I usually use Mac paint pot. But I did get the small ABH primer cause you use it a lot. I tried with Metropolis palette worked well I’ve just heard a lot of people say if not set gives prob blending. But I will try Tati with ABH on one eye and paint pot on other and do a little research! Lol. I love you and Tati regardless two strong beautiful women.
I used glitter glue and really sheered it out and the glitter in the sequins formula i didnt have a demarcation line.🤔💜
The best review I have ever seen! Thanks so much for your honesty 😊
I was watching a review of another person who is great at blending and would often be critical of how things would blend. And when I heard her say, "It looks patchy but that might just be my fault," it kind of made me sad. I love your honesty, and I feel it's important to be this critical and constructive with any product regardless of whose name is on it.
Thanks for your honesty Mel. You really test the palettes, working their shadows in a "real " way...Your opinion is so important for me cause you talk about them with a true and full knowledge.
Hi Mel. I got the palette and was intrigued with what you noticed about the sequins. I did the same as you and I blew on them several times and my sequins stayed. I didnt have a problem with them blowing off. You might want to contact C/S and see if they will send you another. Thanks for the review on this.
Thank you Mel for a great review. You are certainly one that has such a unique way in applying eyeshadows and the way you blend them effortlessly. I was curious about the palette and your review confirmed this might not be the right palette when I look for easily blendable formulas.
That top you have on and the eye look looks so good together!
Thanks for doing not one but two looks, it's appreciated. I watched another channel that had slight patchiness with the matte burgundy shade as well. This was a great review!!
OMG Mell this is a great review of the pallet I haven’t heard anybody talk about how those two rows are exactly the same, and yes all sequin shades are annoying the glitter never stays on them no matter what you do you might get one or two Little specs that states but that’s it. Thank you for such a good review Mell really🥰
I trust your reviews so much you are so thorough. People shouldn’t be mad this is your opinion and experience with the product. Your so right about the two bottom rows didn’t notice that in any other review. Besides the black their essentially the same colors. I was undecided about getting it but you definitely made up my mind. Nothing against Tati I absolutely love her thanks so much for your input ♥️♥️♥️♥️
And this is why I watch you.
Was going to get this, not anymore.
The nude mini Huda is looking better to me now, lol.
Thank you, thank you, for this honest review.
You are just the best!
OMG you would love it, amazing little palette!!!
dobcsek I have ABH, Tilbury, Too Faced, Color Pop, Lancôme, for palette collections. So far Tilbury’s velvet formula is my fav, so I’m anxious to try Huda’s formula.
i think you can make any pallet look good no matter the quality..you are so talented
I'm in my 50s so the sequin row gave just enough shimmer to enhance my eyes and not have me trying to look like a teenager. I love the palette and found that it blends out better when you start out with very little on your brush and build up from there. Also, FWIW, Allie Glines did a review and said that the sequin shades work well with a small, dampened fluffy brush laid down gently onto the eye. All in all, though, I really appreciate this truly unbiased review from a legit artist of makeup. Love you, Mel!
That's what I was hoping for. I'm in my 60's and I currently do apply a pop of shimmer in the center of my lid so I was thinking the sequin row would be up my alley. I probably won't get a lot of use out of the actual glitters but the neutrals are what I love. My palette should be here next week....can't wait!
I never order anything until I’ve seen every review possible. . . except this time.😔 I was so excited about this pallet and dazzled by how gorgeous it is visually. It’s so well thought out and I LOVE the color story. Plus, I expect Tati’s products to be perfection so I ordered at launch. Received it today, got on you tube and am now seeing the challenges with blending that weren’t there previously. Very bummed and wish I would not have spent $58.😢 I am 55 and don’t wear glitter soooo am hoping I can make this pallet work. I am encouraged by @kim’s experience and would like to hear about yours too @cherbear. I keep thinking Tati is going to release some looks with the pallet and wonder why she has not. I think that is strange. Hoping she teaches all exactly how to use the pallet for success.
Jayne Price Tati said she’ll be releasing more videos about her palette and that she’ll be putting out videos of different looks with the palette
Shayna Brand TY, I’m sure there is a good reason why she hasn’t. Maybe because it builds momentum, lol. I’ve been waiting from launch day though!
I swear you can make anything look amazing! You’re truly skilled in the art of applying makeup. Since you’re an OG MAC girl, I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you review some of their pigments &/or loose glitters. I will always be a die hard fan of their pigments, even when I’m
Old and gray. They’re such a hidden gem most people don’t use because they either don’t know about them, or their intimidated by the loose formula. Either way, I’d REALLLLLLYYY enjoy seeing you do a look with some. Thanks chicky!! 💜🤩✊🤩💜
Mel’s best friend, Kelsee Brianna Jai, has a very honest review also. I do feel like a lot of people just gave Tati a glowing review cuz it’s Tati.
skincareaddicted maybe but keep in mind that makeup is different for everybody because everybody is different. There are makeup items that the masses rave about that I’ve tried to love but they just doesn’t work for me. So even though a lot of people might like those products, I don’t care for them. Regardless, I think we all appreciate honest reviews either way
Actually after her "bye sister" drama, she came out looking really bad cuz basically most of her allegations were debunked with proof. So not everyone is that eager to kiss her ass.
I struggle with coconut on my face, too, so it's good to know that you didn't have a problem on the eyes! And thank you for the honesty about the mattes. Good tip to try to set it. Mine is coming soon, so it helps to know what to expect! And oh my gosh, I saw a sweet puppy! Oh my goodness!
I like your honesty. You're considerate with the explanation of the lack of glitter in the second row which in all honesty, I expected it to disappear, so I'm not upset. I bought this pallet and am still happy with my purchase. I now know I have to be a little careful in the application, so thank you for mentioning that.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Agree. I saw others use it with a wet brush and can’t wait to get it. Didn’t know about the coconut oil so that’s interesting.
Henschke007 if you apply the sequin shades with a wet flat brush, the sparkle pops!
Mary (Glitzy Fritzy) always talks about you. I’ve watched your videos but never subscribed. I am now subscribing. I have watched several review videos on this palette, and you are the first person who has not ‘oohed’, ‘ahed’, and drooled over it. Wish I would’ve been able to see this before ordering. Great info! At least, now I know what to expect when mine finally arrives xoxo, Swoozie
Gorgeous! Love both looks but the first is my favorite! Was that puffin lipstick you had on? I’m loving it!! I get compliments every time i wear it! I just got this palette yesterday!
Thank you!!
Yes!!! That was puffin ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And this is why I watch you, so honest and professional. Thanks!
Thank you! Appreciate you!
I’m actually excited for the sequins row for more daily use-just a little sparkle vs a BAM of glitter. Love the glitters but I wouldn’t wear that every day and the in other reviews I have seen them wet their brush and the sequins sparkle stays perfectly. I see most BGs use wetting the brush on most palettes so it isn’t just this one. I can’t afford PM or TF or even ND so I like that this gets me close without a huge price tag...even though it is more expensive than my normal CP or drugstore stuff.
Are you going to review JS and SD?
With a palette this big, I wpuld expect about 3 matte transition colors. Thanks for the review. I am passing on this one and getting the Natasha Denona gold pallette for the Rouge sale.
